The Scarborough Fire and Police Departments will host a blood drive on Saturday, Dec. 29, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in honor of Madison Charland, the niece of a Scarborough firefighter.
Madison, now cancer-free, was diagnosed with cancer as an infant two years ago. During her treatment, she relied on blood and platelet transfusions.
Maine Children’s Cancer Program is a co-sponsor of the drive.
The drive will take place at the Public Safety Building on Route 1. To sign up, go to redcrossblood.org.
Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
